During the 51st ISOCARP Annual World Congress (19-23 October 2015), several cities in Belgium, Netherlands & Germany will open their doors to city professionals from around the world before coming together in Rotterdam.

The 12 congress themes will be hosted in 12 local workshops, during which local professionals will work with colleagues and experts from  around the world to develop practical solutions related to the themes and explore the consequences for the future of the planning profession. These workshops will serve as the foundation for the central debate of ISOCARP2015: Let’s Reinvent Planning.

Workshop hosts will use the Congress Platform (www.isocarp2015.org) to attract partners and participants to their theme and workshop. The platform thus offers hosts expert advice & critical analysis from ISOCARP members around the world. In addition it offers networking  opportunities and global exposure for the hosts and their themes. Finally, it offers colleagues from around the world the opportunity to debate, connect, exchange ideas and learn. Please browse the workshops on the platform and choose which one they would like to contribute to and participate in at the congress.
